Livy
Livy.
Livy’s education was primarily based on the study of rhetoric and philosophy. While he was widely read in Greek literature, historical evidence suggests he did not study in Greece, as was common for many educated Romans of his time. His proficiency in these subjects is further evidenced by the fact that he authored several philosophical dialogues, though none of these works have survived to the present day.1
